The "bible" of eastern NC flatwater by: Anonymous On: 1999-01-26 Ive cussed the inaccuracies in this book more times than is printable. Benner claims to have canoed every single foot of every single river listed in the book, but its pretty obvious by the listing of some very glaring errors that he hasnt.Stll, if you intend to canoe or kayak eastern NC flatwater rivers, youll need this book. It is 95%-98% accurate, but those 2%-5% errors are doozies. Use it as I think it was intended, as a guide, not as gospel, and youll be okay.My copy has long been my canoeing logbook, too. After every trip, I sit down with my canoeing partner of that trip and fill the book with notes of interesting things seen and make corrections of errors listed in the book, writing in the book itself. That way, when I do another trip with another bowman, I dont have to depend on memory to highlight important things to come about the given flatwater NC river.
